Researchers Develop Program Theory for Technology-Assisted Counseling

In 2026, researchers at University Medicine Halle developed an initial program theory and logic model for technology-assisted counseling for family dementia caregivers, integrating a scoping review (69 records, 34 interventions) and interviews with 15 caregivers and 12 counselors. They identified core themes and expected outcomes—improved knowledge, attitudes, interaction, and care stability—and recommend theory-led, blended interventions with AI-supported workflows to improve accessibility.
